Key Improvements + +#### Separation of Concerns +- **Config**: Main configuration stays in flake.nix +- **Overlays**: Package modifications isolated in overlays/ +- **Hosts**: Command definitions organized by language in hosts/ +- **Scripts**: Shell scripts extracted to scripts/ directory +- **Helpers**: Utility functions in lib/ + +#### Readability +- Reduced main file from 688 to 261 lines (62% reduction) +- Added strategic comments explaining key sections +- Extracted long inline strings to separate files +- Grouped related functionality together + +#### Maintainability +- Language-specific changes isolated to dedicated files +- Easy to add new languages (create new host/overlay files) +- Easy to modify scripts without touching Nix code +- Clear separation between different concerns + +#### Reusability +- Individual overlays can be reused in other projects +- Host definitions can be copied/modified independently +- Scripts can be tested/modified separately +- Modular design allows selective adoption + +### 3. Specific Extractions + +#### Shell Scripts (200+ lines → 4 files) +- `initPython.sh`: Python project initialization logic +- `initProject.sh`: Directory structure and git setup +- `updateDeps.sh`: Dependency update automation +- `activateDevenv.sh`: Devenv shell activation + +#### Overlays (100+ lines → 5 files) +- `r.nix`: R package management with rix integration +- `python.nix`: Python package configuration +- `rix.nix`: rstats-on-nix package source +- `theme.nix`: Neovim colorscheme handling +- `project-scripts.nix`: Script wrapper generation + +#### Host Definitions (200+ lines → 5 files) +- `python.nix`: marimo, ipy, py, initPython commands +- `julia.nix`: jl, pluto, initJl commands +- `r.nix`: R console command +- `utils.nix`: initProject, updateDeps, devenv commands +- `default.nix`: Merges all host configurations + +#### Helper Functions (40+ lines → 2 files) +- `shell-hook.nix`: Dev shell welcome message generation +- `mini-notify-config.lua`: Neovim notification filtering + +### 4. Added Documentation + +#### README.md +- Overview of template purpose +- Directory structure explanation +- Benefits of modular design +- Configuration instructions +- Extension guidelines +- Usage examples + +#### Inline Comments +- Section headers in flake.nix +- Explanation of key configuration blocks +- Purpose of each import +- Documentation of categories and settings + +### 5. Benefits Achieved + +1. **Maintainability**: + - Changes to one language don't affect others + - Easy to locate and modify specific functionality + - Clear ownership of different components + +2. **Readability**: + - Main file is now scannable and understandable + - Related code grouped together + - Inline documentation guides users + +3. **Testability**: + - Scripts can be tested independently + - Overlays can be verified in isolation + - Smaller files are easier to debug + +4. **Extensibility**: + - Clear patterns for adding new languages + - Easy to add new commands + - Simple to customize per language + +5. **Learning**: + - New users can understand the template structure + - Examples in each file guide modifications + - Documentation explains purpose and usage + +## Migration Guide + +For users of the old template: +1. The functionality remains identical +2. Configuration in the main config section is the same +3. All commands work exactly as before +4. To customize, now edit the specific file in the appropriate directory + +## Future Improvements + +Possible future enhancements: +- Add validation scripts for configuration +- Create unit tests for individual modules +- Add more language examples (Go, Rust, etc.) +- Create a configuration wizard script +- Add CI/CD integration examples diff --git a/templates/rde/flake.nix b/templates/rde/flake.nix index a01d2df..39826af 100644 --- a/templates/rde/flake.nix +++ b/templates/rde/flake.nix @@ -56,11 +56,13 @@ ################################### # Import overlays from separate files + # Each overlay adds specific packages or configurations rOverlay = import ./overlays/r.nix; pythonOverlay = import ./overlays/python.nix; rixOverlay = import ./overlays/rix.nix inputs; extraPkgOverlay = import ./overlays/theme.nix config; projectScriptsOverlay = import ./overlays/project-scripts.nix config; + supportedSystems = [ "x86_64-linux" "aarch64-linux" @@ -68,6 +70,8 @@ ]; forSystems = nixpkgs.lib.genAttrs supportedSystems; + # Main package configuration + # This configures the Neovim environment with language support projectConfig = forSystems ( system: let inherit (nixCats) utils; @@ -97,6 +101,7 @@ mkPlugin, ... } @ packageDef: { + # Language servers and runtime dependencies lspsAndRuntimeDeps = { project = with pkgs; []; julia = with pkgs; [julia-bin]; @@ -104,6 +109,7 @@ r = with pkgs; [rWrapper quarto air-formatter]; }; + # Plugins that load automatically startupPlugins = { project = with pkgs.vimPlugins; [pkgs.extraTheme]; gitPlugins = with pkgs.neovimPlugins; [ @@ -114,6 +120,7 @@ ]; }; + # Plugins that load on-demand optionalPlugins = { project = with pkgs.vimPlugins; []; gitPlugins = with pkgs.neovimPlugins; [ @@ -122,25 +129,14 @@ ]; }; + # Lua code to run before main config optionalLuaPreInit = { project = [ - '' - local predicate = function(notif) - if not (notif.data.source == "lsp_progress" and notif.data.client_name == "lua_ls") then - return true - end - -- Filter out some LSP progress notifications from 'lua_ls' - return notif.msg:find("Diagnosing") == nil and notif.msg:find("semantic tokens") == nil - end - local custom_sort = function(notif_arr) - return MiniNotify.default_sort(vim.tbl_filter(predicate, notif_arr)) - end - require("mini.notify").setup({ content = { sort = custom_sort } }) - vim.notify = MiniNotify.make_notify() - '' + (builtins.readFile ./lib/mini-notify-config.lua) ]; }; + # Lua code to run after main config optionalLuaAdditions = { project = ["vim.notify('Project loaded: ${name}')"]; }; @@ -149,6 +145,7 @@ project = {}; }; + # Environment variables for each language environmentVariables = { project = {}; julia = {JULIA_NUM_THREADS = "auto";}; @@ -168,6 +165,8 @@ packageDefinitions = prev.packageDefinitions // { + # Main package definition + # This creates the command with configured languages and tools "${config.defaultPackageName}" = utils.mergeCatDefs prev.packageDefinitions.n ( { pkgs, @@ -178,8 +177,10 @@ suffix-path = false; suffix-LD = false; aliases = ["pvim"]; + # Import all host commands from hosts/ directory hosts = import ./hosts config pkgs; }; + # Enable/disable features based on config categories = { julia = config.enabledLanguages.julia; python = config.enabledLanguages.python; @@ -198,6 +199,7 @@ ); in { packages = projectConfig; + # Development shell configuration devShells = forSystems (system: let pkgs = import nixpkgs {inherit system;}; in { @@ -205,6 +207,7 @@ name = config.defaultPackageName; packages = [projectConfig.${system}.default]; inputsFrom = []; + # Welcome message when entering the shell shellHook = import ./lib/shell-hook.nix config pkgs; }; }); diff --git a/templates/rde/lib/mini-notify-config.lua b/templates/rde/lib/mini-notify-config.lua new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ab472d6 --- /dev/null +++ b/templates/rde/lib/mini-notify-config.lua @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +-- Configuration for mini.notify +-- Filters out some verbose LSP progress notifications +local predicate = function(notif) + if not (notif.data.source == "lsp_progress" and notif.data.client_name == "lua_ls") then + return true + end + -- Filter out some LSP progress notifications from 'lua_ls' + return notif.msg:find("Diagnosing") == nil and notif.msg:find("semantic tokens") == nil +end + +local custom_sort = function(notif_arr) + return MiniNotify.default_sort(vim.tbl_filter(predicate, notif_arr)) +end + +require("mini.notify").setup({ content = { sort = custom_sort } }) +vim.notify = MiniNotify.make_notify()
